Sex After
the Birth of a Child Question: Will sex go back to normal after the birth of our child? Answer: No This is particularly true in the first year or two of parenthood. During the first several years of parenthood, due to the changes in your lifestyle it will be hard to have a 'pre-child' sex life. This is because you are too tired to have sex. Small children, particularly at the beginning may be waking you up every two hours to feed and/or have a diaper change. Thus, the two of you may simply be too exhausted, and when you do have time, may prefer using your limited amount of free time to cook a meal. Additionally, breastfeeding mothers tend to experience a decrease in lubrication. Thus, while the two of you can resume a full sex life, you may need to spend an increased amount of time engaging in foreplay and use lubrication. Lastly, some people report feeling "touched out" from all the contact with the baby and not wanting to engage in the same type of sex play as they used to. With time, these issues will pass. And in about 20+ years, after the child has grown up and moved out, sex will can go back to normal. Until then, you can expect to need to schedule sex dates with your partner around the needs of your child. Typically, to have sex, you will need to make sure that your child is either asleep, at a friends house, or with a babysitter so that you and your partner can be alone together.
